* [PATCH] mm: remove VM_LOCKED before remap_pfn_range and drop VM_SHMChristoph Lameter2006-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove VM_LOCKED before remap_pfn range from device drivers and get rid of VM_SHM. remap_pfn_range() already sets VM_IO. There is no need to set VM_SHM since it does nothing. VM_LOCKED is of no use since the remap_pfn_range does not place pages on the LRU. The pages are therefore never subject to swap anyways. Remove all the vm_flags settings before calling remap_pfn_range. After removing all the vm_flag settings no use of VM_SHM is left. Drop it.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Create /proc/rtas, /proc/ppc64/rtas if RTAS exists.mostrows@watson.ibm.com2006-05-19
| | | | | | | | | Use the existence of RTAS device tree node to determine if /proc/rtas. /proc/ppc64/rtas are to be created. Using machine type is not reliable (i.e. Maple-like machines may have RTAS). Signed-off-by: Michal Ostrowski <mostrows@watson.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* [PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbersBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at _machine.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to 32 bits kernelBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32 bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency. Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't have to change. I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a 64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* [PATCH] powerpc: Move more ppc64 files with no ppc32 equivalent to powerpcDavid Gibson2005-11-09
This patch moves a bunch more files from arch/ppc64 and include/asm-ppc64 which have no equivalents in ppc32 code into arch/powerpc and include/asm-powerpc. The file affected are: hvcall.h proc_ppc64.c sysfs.c lparcfg.c rtas_pci.c The only changes apart from the move and corresponding Makefile changes are: - #ifndef/#define in includes updated to _ASM_POWERPC_ form - trailing whitespace removed - comments giving full paths removed Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64), built for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc).
